This year Canada Day in Halifax will feature a variety of cultural, musical, and family-friendly events.
The Halifax Regional Municipality has announced Haligonians will celebrate KANA’TA: Canada Day 2022.
“This new, re-envisioned format for Canada Day will offer residents across the region a variety of new and refreshed cultural, musical, and family-oriented events to enjoy,” a news release says.
The municipality has partnered with Indigenous communities to offer events that honour the traditions of the Mi’kmaw Nation and celebrate pan-Indigenous communities.
You’ll be able to gather for Mawio’mi on the Commons, see the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo Canada Day Parade, and head to Dartmouth for a Summer Sunshine Series free concert.
You can also check out Grand Parade for live music. The KANA’TA x Grand Oasis Festival free concert will feature co-headliners Neon Dreams and Crown Lands, supported by Drives The Common Man, DeeDee Austin, and Eastern Eagle.
Garratt Gloade will host it. You can get free passes online.
There will also be three separate, community-based fireworks and pyrotechnics shows in Halifax, Dartmouth, and Bedford.
The Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 and the Halifax Citadel National Historic site will offer free admission on Friday, July 1st. You’ll also be able to hop on a Halifax Transit bus or ferry for free.
